November Notes, Day 5

"The Joy of Painting"

I have tonight off of work because I was supposed to go to a painting class.

It was cancelled.

I am very bummed.

I've been doing classes at the local gallery for over a year now.

They only hold them in the winter time, so I always look forward to them.

I think it's releasing that inner artist within me...

Or maybe it's just relaxing painting with a glass of wine...

I enjoyed the classes so much, I bought some art supplies of my own...

And, I have tried to use them from time to time...

Like my quilting fabrics,

Like my beads,

Like my scrapbooking paper...

I think I really just enjoy the creative process,

or I have a little ADD...

Today I was reminded of another inspiration for my creativity...

Bob Ross and the "Joy of Painting."

Did you ever watch this on PBS?

I remember watching this as a kid...

the "Magic Brush"

and "happy little clouds..."

He made it all seem so easy...

and to this day I remember when he

would say the paint colors...

alizarin crimson

and titanium white...

I came across this video and

remembered that joy again...

What's your creative outlet...?
